On September 12, American biographer Walter Isaacson's new book "Elon Musk" will be published by Simon & Schuster.
The author disclosed in the book that in October 2022,
When the Ukrainian unmanned attack submersible was loaded with bombs and was about to approach the Russian fleet in Crimea, Musk ordered the engineer to close the Starlink signal in the Crimean area, and the Ukrainian army's special attack operation immediately lost its direction in the water and lost its attack capability. Musk explained that he is just a businessman and he does not want to see a "second Pearl Harbor" in this world.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Biden personally called Musk, National Security Advisor Sullivan, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who had approached Musk and asked SpaceX to provide Starlink terminal equipment to the Ukrainian army, saying that the account would be paid by the Pentagon. Musk said that the tens of millions of dollars of Starlink terminal equipment were personally paid for by him, and a year and a half has passed, and no relevant dignitaries have talked to him about repaying the money!
Musk is asking himself, "What have I done in this war?" ”
"Starlink is not a machine for war! Starlink is to enable people to watch Netflix programs, to connect schools to the Internet, to allow children to learn richer knowledge, to do more for peace, not to be used as an unmanned killing machine. ”
